Tainting legacy of great Briton

If the history books of the future are objective and truthful they will surely record that 2020 was not merely the year of a global pandemic, but also that time when the chattering classes of the Western world, particularly the UK and the USA, went insane.

The bien pensants who have so dominated social developments over the past few decades aggressively promoted a view of the world which bore no resemblance to

reality, but generated hatreds and confrontations where previously people were moving closer to tolerance and a united community than had hitherto been the case.

One egregious example is the determination to falsify history illustrated by the administrators of the National Trust categorising Churchill’s home Chartwell as one tainted by colonialism, or even more ridiculously, implying an association with slavery. Had it not been for Churchill’s inspiring leadership, and refusal to submit, it is very likely that the Eurasian land mass, and perhaps the whole world, would have fallen under the control of the European fascists, and the Japanese militarists, the consequences for those who were considered by these fanatics to be inferior peoples being catastrophic.

The Nazis regarded the British as fellow Aryans, and had we been prepared to sacrifice every moral standard which characterised our nation, we might have divided the world between us.

Indeed there were those among the British ruling class who would have been willing to come to an accommodation with Hitler, so that Great Britain and her empire would have been left untouched.

That we did not go down this path was due in no small measure to Winston Churchill, yet now we see this rewriting of

history attempting to besmirch the memory of one voted to be the greatest Briton ever, clearly showing how the National Trust has completely lost its way, falling under the sway of left liberals activists.

I trust that all patriots, and particularly those who are members of the National Trust, will protest, and if necessary have no more to do with the latter.
